LINGUISTIC DIFFERENTIATION supports Purification which is BINARY (either/or) LOGIC based (e.g. the TOWN is GROWING), which is one-sided MALE ASSERTING as if in EMPTY SPACE.

LINGUISTIC INTEGRATION gives rise to Coherence which is QUANTUM (both/and) LOGIC based (e.g. there is TOWNING in the transforming landscape) which is …”BOTH” … FEMALE ACCOMMODATING  (with respect to “an OPENING in the transforming landscape” that accommodates a filling in with TOWNING) … “AND” MALE ASSERTING (with respect to “the TOWNING”).

The understanding here is, instead of one’s language IMPOSING an INTELLECTUAL REPRESENTATION of REALITY, our language is instead CAPTURING a sensory IMPRESSION of REALITY so there is no need to DEBATE and use BINARY LOGIC to determine WHO HAS THE BEST IMPRESSION as with WHO HAS THE BEST REPRESENTATION, but to instead gather the IMPRESSIONS together in the LEARNING CIRCLE to use INTEGRATION to extract the coherencies from the confluence of relations of multiple IMPRESSIONS.

The point is that IMPRESSION is first of all about the psycho-sensual receptivity of the OBSERVER and how the OBSERVER is inductively influenced by his/her OBSERVING while REPRESENTATION is the OBSERVER’S INTELLECTUAL IMPOSING of ‘BEING’ based structure’.  The “INTELLECTUAL IMPOSING of MATERIAL EVIDENCE” is exposed to DROP OUT as in the ‘THIN SKULL RULE’ where REPRESENTATION is limited to MALE ASSERTING ACTIONS and DEVELOPMENTS as if occurring in an EMPTY SPACE. But in WAVE-FIELD reality, the FEMALE ACCOMMODATING conjugate is important so that the COLLAPSING of the EGG-SHELL SKULL cannot be fully and solely attributed to MALE ASSERTING ACTION.  Likewise, the farmer’s bumper crop cannot be fully and solely attributed to the farmer’s MALE ASSERTING ACTION simply because WESTERN CULTURE DROPS OUT the FEMALE ACCOMMODATING WAVE-FIELD CONJUGATE (e.g. accommodating soil and weather) in its LINGUISTIC REPRESENTATION.

The sense IMPRESSION, because it includes the FEMALE ACCOMMODATING CONJUGATE, while it is LESS SIMPLE than the MALE ASSERTING ACTION CONJUGATE on its own, is MORE COMPLETE and exposes the INCOMPLETENESS of ONE-SIDED MALE ASSERTING ONLY LINGUISTIC REPRESENTATIONS of REALITY, an INCOMPLETENESS that we are WARNED ABOUT by Goedel’s Theorem (of the INCOMPLETENESS of all finite logical propositions).

We have all heard of Heraclitus’ “EVERYTHING IS IN FLUX” and Modern Physics’ POPULAR FORMULATION supports this with its CONCEPTUALIZING of an ALL-INCUDING WAVE-FIELD, … but WAIT A MINUTE, … this notion that MATERIAL THINGS are CONSTANTLY TRANSFORMING and that we can use PROBABILITY to capture their transitioning from MATTER to ENERGY … WAS CONTESTED by Schroedinger and others on THE FOLLOWING BASIS;

WHICH IS IT?  “FLUX IS EVERYTHING” or “EVERYTHING IS IN FLUX”?

Once we OPEN THE DOOR to EVERYTHING IS IN FLUX, as the mainstream of MODERN PHYSICS has done (although NOT Schroedinger, Bohm and others in the PHILOSOPHICAL camp such as Wittgenstein and Nietzsche), we are giving a FOUNDATION ROLE to MATERIAL BEING and saying that there is such a thing as MATERIAL BEING but such MATERIAL BEINGS (particles or whatever) ARE IN CONSTANT FLUX.  This is one of those self-contradictory propositions like ‘the PRARODOX OF THE  ARROW’ of ZENO’ which shows the IMPOSSIBILITY of  this simultaneous duality of stillness of LOCAL EXPLICIT BEING and FLUID MOVEMENT.

It MAKES MORE SENSE to go with ‘FLUX IS EVERYTHING’ than to go with ‘EVERYTHING IS IN FLUX’.

In other words, we need to accept that MATERIAL THINGS are ‘SCHAUMKOMMEN’ as Schroedinger consistently maintained to the day of his departure, in which case we have to DROP the ‘THINGS’ in ‘EVERYTHING IS IN FLUX’ and go with ‘FLUX IS EVERYTHING’.

What I am saying is that the WAVE-FIELD is PRIMARY and we have to let go of WAVE-PARTICLE DUALITY.   In other words, it is NOT in the REALM of PHYSICS that we can tie down this WAVE-MATTER DUALITY but in the REALM of LANGUAGE since FLUX IS EVERYTHING and there is no room for CONFUSED THINKING in terms that EVERY”THING” IS IN FLUX.  The “THING” ABSTRACTION HAS TO GO as in “FLUX IS EVERYTHING” so that our understanding can be “grounded” in WAVE-FIELD FLUIDITY wherein MATERIAL THINGS are APPEARANCES (schaumkommen).

OK, now we can come back to the main point of this note; Language is Capable of IMPRESSIONS and NOT “REPRESENTATIONS”  since RE-PRESENTATION suggests an INITIAL PRESENTATION which is like a SNAPSHOT of a THING such as a PICTORIAL REPRESENTATION of a “TOWN” but since FLUX IS EVERYTHING (the WAVE-FIELD is EVERYTHING), it CAN’T BE ‘PRESENTED’ or ‘RE-PRESENTED’, .. and as Lao Tzu says, “The Tao that can be told is not the true Tao”.

Language is Delivering IMPRESSIONS and NOT “REPRESENTATIONS” 

It is sometimes stated that Newtonian space, time, and matter are sensed by everyone intuitively, whereupon relativity is cited as showing how mathematical analysis can prove intuition wrong. This, besides being unfair to intuition, is an attempt to answer offhand question (1) put at the outset of this paper, to answer which this research was undertaken. Presentation of the findings now nears its end, and I think the answer is clear. The offhand answer, laying the blame upon intuition for our slowness in discovering mysteries of the Cosmos, such as relativity, is the wrong one. The right answer is: Newtonian space, time, and matter are no intuitions. They are recepts from culture and language. That is where Newton got them.”

Benjamin Lee Whorf– The Relation of Habitual Thought and Behavior to Language.

NOW, THIS IS IMPORTANT BECAUSE WE ARE USING LANGUAGE TO FASHION WHAT WE SAY ARE “REPRESENTATIONS” OF A “PHYSICAL REALITY”; I.E. OF PARTICULAR PLACES OR THINGS, … THAT WHAT DOES THAT MEAN IF WE ARE INCLUDED IN A FLUID WORLD, AND WHEN I SAY “FLUID WORLD”, I DO NOT MEAN “A WORLD WHERE “EVERY THING” IS IN FLUX”, I MEAN “AN ALL-INCLUDING TRANSFORMING RELATIONAL CONTINUUM AKA A WAVE-FIELD”, akin to Nietzsche’s description;

“And do you know what “the world” is to me? Shall I show it to you in my mirror? This world: a monster of energy, without beginning, without end; a firm, iron magnitude of force that does not grow bigger or smaller, that does not expend itself but only transforms itself; as a whole, of unalterable size, a household without expenses or losses, but likewise without increase or income …” –Nietzsche, ‘The Will to Power’, 1067

As Lao Tzu says, this world cannot be ‘TOLD’ as in “REPRESENTED” suggesting that Language is Capable of IMPRESSIONS and NOT “REPRESENTATIONS” 

In understanding the WAVE-FIELD REALITY in Schroedinger’s terms, EVERYING IS IN FLUX FLUX IS EVERYTHING which in Systems Sciences terms is captured in terms of our being included in a world characterized by global interconnectedness and mutual interdependence  (i.e. the all-including WAVE-FIELD, the FLUX that is EVERYTHING).   In this WAVE-FIELD understanding of reality, there is NO LOCAL, EXPLICIT THING TO SUBOPTIMIZE, … NO ‘INDEPENDENT STATE’, NO ‘INDEPENDENT HUMAN BEING’, no ORGANISM to run through an evolutionary survival of the fittest OPTIMIZING PROGRAM, because there is NO ‘THING’.  DOES THE INDEPENDENT NATION known as UNITED STATES “EXIST” and is it “GROWING” and getting SMARTER and MORE ACCOMPLISHED and MORE POWERFUL?  LANGUAGE CAN PUT TOGETHER THIS “IMPRESSION” FOR US but in terms of REPRESENTATION we would have to INVENT a LOCAL, EXPLICIT MATERIAL THING-IN-ITSELF and we do this with LANGUAGE so LANGUAGE is a tool for manufacturing IMPRESSIONS and not REPRESENTATIONS since we live in a world characterized by global interconnectedness and mutual interdependence ,

“The above aphorism (The Name of the Devil is Suboptimization’), attributed to Kenneth Boulding, points to the inherent weakness characterizing the mindset and socio‐economic, political, educational and managerial practices of Western Industrial society as it developed over the past 300 years. It has its basis in the analytic‐reductionist scientific paradigm, which, despite the remarkable technological applications it spawned, is inappropriate, conflict‐generating and dysfunctional in a world characterized by global interconnectedness and mutual interdependence …” — György Jaros and Martine Dodds-Taljaard  (International Society of Systems Sciences)

LET’s ‘TAKE STOCK’, SHALL WE?

The physical sense-experience is that we live in  a world characterized by global interconnectedness and mutual interdependence

The sense-experience world is A WORLD WITHOUT LOCAL EXPLICIT MATERIAL THINGS, these being LANGUAGE-STIMULATED IMPRESSIONS; i.e. Language is Capable of IMPRESSIONS and NOT “REPRESENTATIONS” 

The TERM ‘REPRESENTATION’ in speaking of our use of LANGUAGE in the RE-PRESENTATION of LOCAL, EXPLICIT MATERIAL FORMS and their dynamics ERRONEOUSLY IMPLIES THE ‘REPRESENTATION OF LOCAL, EXPLICIT MATERIAL FORMS’ as with LANGUAGE but LANGUAGE is a tool for manufacturing IMPRESSIONS and not REPRESENTATIONS since we live in a WAVE-FIELD world characterized by global interconnectedness and mutual interdependence ,

The FALSE “PRESENTATION” of the world in terms of LOCAL and EXPLICIT MATERIAL THINGS is PROGRAMMED INTO US WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS THROUGH OUR SCHOOLING; e.g;

Charles Dickens in ‘Hard Times’ in the sequence where ‘Sissy Jupe’s relational understanding of a horse is ‘put down’ by her teacher Thomas Gradgrind who insists on grounding all understanding in ‘being’-based ‘facts’ as is the way of mainstream ‘science’;

“Now, what I want is, Facts. Teach these boys and girls nothing but Facts. Facts alone are wanted in life. Plant nothing else, and root out everything else. You can only form the minds of reasoning animals upon Facts: nothing else will ever be of any service to them. This is the principle on which I bring up my own children, and this is the principle on which I bring up these children. Stick to Facts, sir!”

‘Bitzer,’ said Thomas Gradgrind. ‘Your definition of a horse.’

‘Quadruped. Graminivorous. Forty teeth, namely twenty-four grinders, four eye-teeth, and twelve incisive. Sheds coat in the spring; in marshy countries, sheds hoofs, too. Hoofs hard, but requiring to be shod with iron. Age known by marks in mouth.’ Thus (and much more) Bitzer.

— Charles Dickens, ‘Hard Times’

DO WE NEED TO REPEAT (YES WE DO) THAT; we live in a WAVE-FIELD world characterized by global interconnectedness and mutual interdependence .

WHAT ABOUT THE WORLD THAT THOMAS GRADGRIND IS TALKING ABOUT WHICH IS CLASSIC IN OUR WESTERN CULTURE LANGUAGE-BASED REALITY DEPICTIONS?

The LANGUAGE-based world is an INTELLECTUALLY CONTRIVED SUBSTITUTE REALITY stimulated by LANGUAGE.  LANGUAGE is a tool for manufacturing IMPRESSIONS and not REPRESENTATIONS since we live in a WAVE-FIELD characterized by global interconnectedness and mutual interdependence wherein “fixed material entities” are SCHAUMKOMMEN, LANGUAGE-BASED IMPRESSIONS AND NOT REPRESENTATIONS

In the realm of LANGUAGE-BASED IMPRESSIONS, we have TWO OPTIONS that we know as DIFFERENTIATION and INTEGRATION; e.g. we have, for example;

DIFFERENTIATION:  “The TOWN is GROWING, DEVELOPING and PRODUCING products” which employs BINARY “EITHER/OR” LOGIC (one-sided GROWTH implies an EMPTY SPACE CONTAINER).  This is VERY SIMPLE form of LANGUAGE-STIMULATED CONVEYING OF AN IMPRESSION.

INTEGRATION: “There is TOWNING in the TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE” which employs QUANTUM “BOTH/AND” LOGIC (i.e. there it BOTH the FEMALE ACCOMMODATING SHRINKING and OPENING, of the WILDERNESS AND, in conjugate relation, the MALE-ASSERTING GROWING of the TOWNING.  This FEMALE OPENING AND ACCOMMODATING IN CONJUGATE RELATION  WITH THE MALE ASSERTING AND FILLING “APPEARS” AS A DYNAMIC WITHIN A FEMALE-ACCOMMODATING—MALE ASSERTING “NON-DUALITY” aka the WAVE-FIELD DYNAMIC..  Thus INTEGRATION is a LESS SIMPLE form of LANGUAGE-STIMULATED CONVEYING OF AN IMPRESSION than DIFFERENTIATION.

THE CHOICE, IN LANGUAGE DESIGN, OF WHETHER TO PUT DIFFERENTIATION FIRST OR INTEGRATION FIRST MAKES THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN WESTERN CULTURE and INDIGENOUS ABORIGINAL CULTURE.

INTEGRATION is where we start with the all-including VALLEY aka TRANSFORMING CONTINUUM and speak of TOWNING in the VALLEYING.  As the ground subsided and the VALLEY OPENS UP it induces water to flow into its interior and land to slide down into it and to continually fill up and develop in this FEMALE ACCOMMODATING manner.  PUTTING INTEGRATION in primary status over DIFFERENTIATION is characteristic of INDIGENOUS ABORIGINAL LANGUAGE (e.g. there is TOWNING in the TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE).  This is a QUANTUM LOGIC proposition where there is ambiguity over whether the TOWNING is the active agent or whether the ACCOMMODATING OF THE VALLEY (e.g. the SHRINKING of the WILDERNESS) is the OPERATIVE AGENCY).  As we know from the THIN SKULL RULE, WESTERN CULTURE has opted to CONSTRAIN DYNAMICS to one-sided MALE-ASSERTING ACTIONS and DEVELOPMENTS which essentially REDUCES INTEGRATION to DIFFERENTIATION..  INTEGRATION ALLOWS US TO LIVE WITH THIS ANDROGYNOUS FEMALE-ACCOMMODATING — MALE ASSERTING CONJUGATION WHICH IS, IN FACT, TRANSFORMATION.

NOTE: with TRANSFORMATION, there is no need for an EITHER/OR distinguishing between FEMALE ACCOMMODATING and MALE ASSERTING QUANTUM LOGIC since BOTH/AND LOGIC can deal with this ANDROGYNOUS reality whereas BINARY LOGIC is too simple and forces SIMPLIFING DROP-OUT OF THE FEMALE ACCOMMODATING CONJUGATE as in the THIN SKULL RULE where we accept only the MALE ASSERTING BLOW as the AUTHORING AGENCY, making it appear as if the FEMALE ACCOMMODATING OF THE ENERGY-FILLED PLENUM (WAVE-FIELD) is a NON-PARTICIPATING PASSIVE EMPTY SPACE.  Instead of the FEMALE OPENING of the ENERGY-CHARGED PLENUM being the PRIMARY AUTHORING SOURCE which induces a CONDENSATION which has a MALE ASSERTING aspect, the FEMALE WAVE-FIELD CONJUGATE is linguistically reduced to a non-participating EMPTY SPACE while the MALE ASSERTING AGENCY is PROMOTED from MERE APPEARANCE or SCHAUMKOMMEN, to PRIMARY AUTHOR STATUS.  This is OBSCURANTISM as in the DEA ABSCONDITA or ‘missing FEMALE GODDESS’, leaving us with the “IMPRESSION” of a MALE ASSERTING ONLY SUBSTITUTE REALITY.

DIFFERENTIATION is where we start with the particular LOCAL FEATURE like a MOUNTAIN or VOLCANO that seems to ASSERT itself and STAND OUT from the rest of the LANDSCAPE and we can describe this FEATURE AS IF IN ITS OWN RIGHT by DISSECTING IT as we might dissect a butterfly to describe it by its COMPONENTS (forgetting about the INTEGRATION based impression material forms being CONDENSATIONS of the ALL-INCLUDING WAVE-FIELD PLENUM.  This prioritizing, in our LANGUAGE USAGE, of the DIFFERENTIATION technique, a WESTERN CULTURE prioritizing PREFERENCE is symbolized by the psychological orientation to DIFFERENTIATION of Thomas Gradgrind in Charles Dickens’ HARD TIMES.  Gradgrind’s biases HIGHLIGHT this option in language of giving DIFFERENTIATION PRIMARY STATUS in our LANGUAGE-based IMPRESSION sharing (e.g. ‘the TOWN is GROWING, DEVELOPING and PRODUCING products as if in an implied EMPTY SPACE).  This DIFFERENTIATING or FRAGMENTING and separating out a particular MATERIAL ENTITY is a BINARY LOGIC operation where we BACKFILL the position formerly filled by the FEMALE ACCOMMODATING CONJGUATE with EMPTY SPACE.

Charles Dickens mocking of our WESTERN CULTURE move away from INTEGRATION to DIFFERENTIATION; i.e. our move away from QUANTUM LOGIC INTEGRATION as in “There is TOWNING in the transforming LANDSCAPE” to BINARY LOGIC DIFFERENTIATION as in ‘The TOWN is GROWING, DEVELOPING and PRODUCING products’ which employs the DOUBLE ERROR of NAMING and GRAMMAR “LOCAL AUTHOR ABSTRACTION” is now FIRMLY ROOTED in our WESTERN CULTURE POPULAR LANGUAGE USAGE.

Language is Capable of IMPRESSIONS and NOT “REPRESENTATIONS” 

And the IMPRESSIONS that Dickens felt were undesirable were the IMPRESSIONS which reduced our depiction and understanding of things from holistic INTEGRATION to DIFFERENTIATED CONTENTS as in the Thomas Gradgrind character who mocks the romantic INTEGRATIONAL understanding of HORSING of ‘SISSY JUPE’, underscoring the NEED to understand the HORSE as a LOCAL EXPLICIT THING-IN-ITSELF as captured by DIFFERENTIATING its PARTS and thus producing a INSIDE OUTWARD BINARY LOGIC DIFFERENTIATION based IMPRESSION rather than an OUTSIDE-INWARD QUANTUM LOGIC INTEGRATION based IMPRESSION.

If we step back for a moment and reflect on the wisdom of Lao Tzu and ‘The Tao that can be told is not the true Tao’, … we are reminded that we humanings and the horseings and everything else are included in the transforming relational continuum aka the WAVE-FIELD; i.e. we live in  a world characterized by global interconnectedness and mutual interdependence

So let’s NOT CONFUSE OURSELVES by using the term REPRESENTATION and speaking in terms of LANGUAGE-BASED REPRESENTATIONS OF what we are calling ‘REALITY’ since the WAVE-FIELD world of our sense-experience is beyond the reach of language based REPRESENTATION which leaves us WITH HAVING TO USE LANGUAGE TO CONSTRUCT “IMPRESSIONS” of our sense-experience reality of inclusion in the transforming relational continuum aka the WAVE-FIELD aka the TAO aka ‘THE GREAT MYSTERY’.

NOT LANGUAGE-BASED “REPRESENTATIONS’ but LANGUAGE-BASED “IMPRESSIONS”.

OUR GROUNDING ‘REALITY’ THUS OBLIGES US TO KEEP IN MIND THAT we live in  a world characterized by global interconnectedness and mutual interdependence, a WAVE-FIELD WORLD, a transforming relational continuum akin to Nietzsche’s description, repeated here for convenience;

“And do you know what “the world” is to me? Shall I show it to you in my mirror? This world: a monster of energy, without beginning, without end; a firm, iron magnitude of force that does not grow bigger or smaller, that does not expend itself but only transforms itself; as a whole, of unalterable size, a household without expenses or losses, but likewise without increase or income …” –Nietzsche, ‘The Will to Power’, 1067

There is no such thing as a “REPRESENTATION OF REALITY”, there are only IMPRESSIONS OF REALITY based on INTEGRATING RELATIONS.

Once we understand this, we are led to designing LANGUAGE wherein we create IMPRESSIONS of reality which are based on INTEGRATING the RELATIONS in nature where we can use an IMPRESSIONIST form of speech such as ‘there is TOWNING in the TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE’, a NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT relational impression wherein everything is in flus and there is no DEPENDENCE on anything LOCAL and EXPLICIT.

CONVERSELY, DIFFERENTIATION puts us on the path of constructing REPRESENTATIONS OF REALITY which are LOCAL and EXPLICIT and give us the CAPABILITY of LANGUAGE based on DIS-INTEGRATING or DIFFERENTIATING relational forms in the transforming relational continuum and thus giving them, as it were, A LIFE OF THEIR OWN within the BINARY LOGIC SUPPORTED EMPTY SPACE CONTAINER that preserves the INDEPENDENT, SEPARATE STATUS of the DIFFERENTIATED ELEMENTS that are the product of linguistic DIS-INTEGRATING.

DIFFERENTIATION IMPOSES UPON THE RESULTING FRAGMENTS, a BINARY LOGIC BANISHMENT TO AN ABOLUTE EMPTY AND INFINITE CONTAINING SPACE NEEDED TO PRESERVE THEIR DIFFERENTIATED ‘INDEPENDENT BEING’ STATUS.

LANGUAGE BASED ON DIFFERENTIATION is obliged to resort to EITHER/OR BINARY LOGIC based GRAMMAR to preserve the INDEPENDENT status of the now SPLIT OUT RESULTS of the DIFFERENTIATION; e.g. “the TOWN is GROWING, DEVELOPING, PRODUCING products” (implying LOCAL AUTHORING in its own right, as if in empty space’)

LANGUAGE BASED ON INTEGRATION is obliged to resort to BOTH/AND QUANTUM LOGIC based GRAMMAR to preserve the INTEGRATED status of the web-of-relations based “INTEGRAL FORMINGS’; e.g. “THERE IS TOWNING IN THE TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE” (implying ANDROGYNOUS BOTH/AND inclusion in the transforming relational continuum, as where the FEMALE ACCOMMODATING LANDSCAPE IS ‘OPENING UP FOR THE MALE ASSERTING GROWING of the TOWN).

Note that wherever necessary, WESTERN CULTURE LANGUAGE GRAMMAR is deployed so as to eliminate all references to FEMALE ACCOMMODATING in the language constructions.  This is done in our Common Average European languages such as English, by direct blatant DROP OUT such as in the Thin Skull Rule and its many related forms, where the sense-experience affirmed dynamic OBVIOUSLY INCLUDES A FEMALE ACCOMMODATING ONJUGATE while WESTERN CULTURE LANGUAGE ARCHITECTURE IS DESIGNED FOR REMOVAL OF ALL TRACES OF FEMALE ACCOMMODATING INFLUENCE THAT COULD DILUTE THE DOMINANT IMPRESSION OF MALE ASSERTING RESPONSIBILITY FOR AUTHORING ACTIONS AND DEVELOPMENTS.   Notable cases of OBSCURANTISM to deny the FEMALE ACCOMMODATING include the THIN SKULL RULE where all AUTHORING RESPONSIBILITY is charged to the MALE-ASSERTING PUNCHING ACTION AS THE JAW-BREAKING AUTHOR, DENYING the FEMALE ACCOMMODATING ROLE.  There is also the discarded cigarette butt that is said to be the male asserting cause of the forest fire (without mention of the female accommodating hot-summer desiccated forest condition).

In all cases, and this applies to WESTERN CULTURE LANGUAGE ARCHITECTURE generally, there is OBSCURANTUM in the language based capture which DROPS OUT the FEMALE ACCOMMODATING conjugate of the WAVE-FIELD dynamic, so that it appears that the SOLE ACTIVATING INFLUENCE is MALE ASSERTING.   This applies also in WESTERN CULTURE JUSTICE.

This is what happens as a result of the psychological employment of SIMPLE BINARY LOGIC which is EITHER/OR based in place of LESS SIMPLE QUANTUM LOGIC which is BOTH/AND based.

BINARY LOGIC considers only TWO MUTUALLY OPPOSITE POSSIBILITIES while QUANTUM LOGIC considers a THIRD POSSIBILITY ‘le tiers inclus’ which connects the two binary options.  Here’s a snippet from an essay on the topic.  This is important because it takes us from the over-simplification of Newtonian physics binary world to the less simple Modern physics relational world.  This is important to the understanding of how our European languages oversimply reality by reducing INTEGRATIVE language capable of developing delivering WAVE-FIELD IMPRESSIONS to DIFFERENTIATING language which serves up one sided MALE-ASSERTING ACTION AND DEVELOPMENT based MECHANISTIC IMPRESSIONS.

In simple terms, the mental impressions we get from language come in a SIMPLE and LESS SIMPLE form and our Common Average European language serves up the SIMPLE form which is BINARY LOGIC based while Modern physics and indigenous aboriginal languages serve up the LESS SIMPLE language which is QUANTUM LOGIC based.   We can also understand the MORE SIMPLE in terms of the MALE ASSERTING WAVE-FIELD CONJUGATE ‘on its own’ and the LESS SIMPLE in terms of the ANDROGYNOUS WAVE-FIELD with its FEMALE-ACCOMMODATING — MALE ASSERTING CONJUGSATE structure.

Don’t worry about the complexity here.  I am putting in the details so than anyone reading this can have sufficient background but the MAIN STORY is the fact that we can choose two types of language, one language architecture which is based on DIFFERENTIATION (BINARY LOGIC) and the other language architecture which is based on INTEGRATION (QUANTUM LOGIC).

We can ‘GET THE POINT’ if we consider the difference, for example, between the BINARY LOGIC and QUANTUM LOGIC propositions “The TOWN IS GROWING” (BINARY LOGIC) and ‘THERE IS TOWNING IN THE TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE” (QUANTUM LOGIC).   That is ‘the TOWN is GROWING’ implies an empty CONTAINING SPACE so we have a material form ‘growing’ in empty space which is the BINARY LOGIC relation.   Whereas, ‘There is TOWNING in the TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE’ implies that a FULL SPACE (the transforming landscape) which INCLUDES the material form (the TOWNING) in which case the TOWNING of the TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE is like the FROWNING of your FACIAL LANDSCAPE which involves the BOTH/AND LOGIC of the INCLUDING MEDIUM.   These are NOT TWO SEPARATE THINGS but they are DISTINGUISHABLE THINGS, like the HURRICANING in the ATMOSPHERING we cannot capture the HURRICANING in a HUGE CONTAINER and put it in storage so that when we need a STORM to stir things up, we can “let it out of the box”.   QUANTUM LOGIC is that sort of BOTH/AND LOGICAL RELATION where there is a FIGURE and a GROUND that are NOT TWO THINGS but ONE, as in the general case in the world because MATERIAL FORMS (FIGURES) are CONDENSATIONS of the ALL-INCLUDING WAVE-FIELD (GROUND).

SUMMARY AND MAIN POINT:          Language is Capable of IMPRESSIONS and NOT “REPRESENTATIONS”

Our sense-experience REALITY is of inclusion in the transforming relational continuum aka the WAVE-FIELD AKA The Tao that cannot be told’.

The Tao is the REALITY that we are included in and it ‘cannot be told’.  It cannot be reduced to LANGUAGE based REPRESENTATION, so we need not confuse our language based stories about ‘what is going on’ as REALITY.  What we put together with language can only be IMPRESSIONS of reality.  When Korzybski said ‘the word is not the thing’, he is giving back-handed credence to the ‘existence of things’.  THIS IS A MISTAKE.  ALL WE ARE CAPABLE OF IS SENSE-BASED IMPRESSIONS and that is what our language is capturing rather than REPRESENTATIONS of reality and we have TWO MAJOR TYPES OF IMPRESSIONS; i.e. DIFFERENTIATION based IMPRESSIONS and INTEGRATION based IMPRESSIONS.

So, we need to dispel the notion that THERE ARE THINGS which Korzybski is giving a backhanded support to in saying ‘the WORD is NOT the THING’ which implies THERE ARE THINGS’, … and once we acknowledge that there only IMPRESSIONS, then we can investigate the different nature of the IMPRESSIONS in which case we find that there are IMPRESSIONS based on DIFFERENTIATION and IMPRESSIONS (NOT REPRESENTATIONS) based on INTEGRATION and that We WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS have opted for DIFFERENTIATION based IMPRESSIONS while INDIGENOUS ABORIGINALS, Taoists/Buddhists and Advaita Vedanta adherents hare opted for INTEGRATION based IMPRESSIONS.

CAN YOU SEE HOW THE BACKING OFF FROM CLAIMING TO BE CAPTURING LINGUISTIC REPRESENTATIONS OF REALITY to CLAIMING LINGUISTIC IMPRESSIONS OF REALITY ‘COOLS THINGS DOWN’?

There is a PROBLEM with DIFFERENTIATION based REPRESENTATIONS  in that these reduce the WAVE-FIELD to MALE ASSERTING CONJUGATE and DROP OUT the FEMALE ACCOMMODATING CONJUGATE and this DROP OUT, as the THIN SKULL RULE shows, leads to language based IMPRESSIONS of reality which are EITHER one-sided MALE ASSERTING based as in ‘the TOWN is GROWING, DEVELOPING and PRODUCING stuff OR FEMALE ACCOMMODATING based as in ‘THE WILDERNESS IS SHRINKING and DECLINING’

With INTEGRATION, we NO LONGER SPEAK OF THESE AS TWO SEPARATE REPRESENTATIONS THAT ARE GOING ON AS IF WE WERE LIVING IN A FLAT SPACE, but instead we see BOTH FEMALE ACCOMMODATING AND MALE ASSERTING as CONJUGATE IMPRESSIONS of the ONE DYNAMIC of TRANSFORMATION, which we can express in the INTEGRATED (ANDROGYNOUS or WAVE-FIELD) terms of “THERE IS TOWNING IN THE TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE” where FIGURE (TOWNING) and GROUND (TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE) are ONE.

By SHIFTING FROM ‘REPRESENTATION’ to “IMPRESSION’ WE SHIFT THE MODEL OF UNDERSTANDING FROM ‘WHAT’S OUT THERE’ (i.e. LANGUAGE THAT IS REPORTING ON “REPRESENATIONS” of ‘WHAT’S OUT THERE”, to language that is reporting on “IMPRESSIONS” of “WHAT IN HERE”.  This explains the INDIGENOUS ABORIGINAL ‘LEARNING CIRCLE’ where each individual’s UNIQUE AND DIFFERENT “IMPRESSION” of that going on “OUT THERE” has its own value coming from its unique perspective, so there is natural value in BRINGING A MULTIPLICITY OF THESE “IMPRESSIONS” into relational connection to ‘farm’ the ‘coherencies’ and extract the HOLISTIC IMPRESSION.

In our WESTERN CULTURE, since we believe that our SENSORY OBSERVATIONS and EXPERIENCES are bringing to us REPRESENTATION OF REALITY, our practice has been to DIFFERENTIATE and SELECT THE BEST REPRESENTATION, thus TRASHING the ‘PHASE’ INFORMATION which is actually valued and gathered within the INDIGENOUS ABORIGINAL ‘LEARNING CIRCLE’ where the understanding is, instead of one’s sense experience capturing a REPRESENTATION of REALITY, capturing instead an IMPRESSION of REALITY so there is no need to DEBATE WHO HAS THE BEST IMPRESSION as with WHO HAS THE BEST REPRESENTATION, but to instead gather the IMPRESSIONS together in the LEARNING CIRCLE to use INTEGRATION to extract the coherencies from the ‘interfering’ relations of multiple IMPRESSIONS.
